Building a Shop Vac Boom Arm // Overhead Shop Vac Hose // Make space in your workshop // Woodworking

I build a Shop Vac Boom Arm to put some of what I've learned from KZread makers into practice. The Boom Arm allows me to lift my shop vac's hose off the floor and run it overhead.

    Hi Fed, Very nice video and great "Learning Curve Reminder". You point out some of the exact things that I go through on a project (Mistakes, Corrections, Lessons Learned). It's encouraging to see that in "real life" all of our projects don't go as smooth and perfect as the ones we see in the KZread videos. Keep on Making, Keep on Learning. Thanks for sharing.

In contrast the silent videos and highest level of pro-perfect technique and editing that I watch is JSK-koubou.... wow do I feel in awe and totally will never get to that zen technique when watching the Japanese master maker. I could collaborate with YOU due to your tru-to-life tutorial. Thanks F.

    Everyone starts somewhere. I think you did great. You'll learn more from mistakes than being told. Just gotta get there without loosing any fingers or your life. I have to say you extension arm was a great idea and your solution for keeping it from pulling out was simple and solid.. Only thing I would suggest is that you put both mounting bolts in from the top. Obviously not a big deal here. But reason being if the bolt should fail, it won't' fall out. Well done sir.

    Nice approach either of your video concept and your build. Finally I have found something for my hose problem at my shop. Let me encourage you airing more of such videos. Plenty of the maker guys out there are telling us, what to do and how to do. But they never show what happens in real life once a newbie tries to apply the youtube wisdom. You mastered both in a most entertaining way. AND: I like your style 💇🏻‍♂️ Keep on rocking!

    Next time when making relief cuts in a piece of wood in-order to create a radius... Use the thinner kerf blade in your skill saw in place of the 10" table saw blade... Yes you can swap them out as long as your arbor matches

    Very nice video Fed, thank you, love the fact you show your errors, if I filmed mine I'd need a beep button! Also, love the sound effects. Cleats are great for stuff that you want to move about the shop, but if its staying put they are a bit redundant, you could lock the cleats to resolve the tip problem but for this application direct fixing is the way to go

    Great job and great learning experience. I'm a fairly experienced woodworker, so I'll mention one thing: The difference between beginner and pro woodworkers is that the pros are better at fixing their mistakes. As you learn, you'll make more sophisticated mistakes, or, if you're like me, you'll continue to make dumb ones. I think I'm going to build a hose boom like yours, it's a great idea.

    you could have put a tight fitting piece of plywood in between the upper wall mounted french cleat and the lower, hinge mounted one, thus locking it in place. these locks often don't get mentioned or are not necessary for e.g. a small shelf holding a bunch of screwdrivers

    screws go in to the glued wood just like your nails did, i.e. to hold the piece while the glue dries. there's no need to use clamps and then screw. the kerf slots should point inward, never outward. There is no structural support when they are just hanging out. It's akin to just using a 1/8th sheet of plywood at that point.
